Orlando wakes up under a blanket of clouds this morning with temperatures hovering near 70°F, and the stage is already set for a warm, unsettled weekend. Expect a high close to 80°F today, with scattered showers and a shot at thunderstorms through the midday hours and the afternoon commute. East-northeast winds will run about 5–15 mph, and brief downpours could leave roads slick during the busiest part of the day.
Afternoon Timing
Spotty showers may pop up before 11 a.m., but the prime window for thunderstorms runs from late morning into mid-afternoon, roughly 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Forecasters peg the overall rain chance at about 50% today, with most neighborhoods picking up a few tenths of an inch and isolated heavier spots near a quarter-inch.
